Being Single Isn't That Bad

Yes I’m single for Valentine’s Day and no I don’t care for the sympathy. I don’t think being single on a day such as this isn’t so bad. I mean it could be worse. My problem is the fact that I have to sit through the moping and complaining of people who can’t live with the fact of being alone.

I’m not one to complain I know, but this mushy lovey doves crap is annoying. With the candle lit dinners and the huge amounts of candy grams and chocolates with the sounds of horned up adults having sex in the apartments above and aside from me. I could admit in the moments of love, one would love to spend Valentine’s with their partners. But please do me and every other single person a favor and not rub it in our face. I get it, I’m lonely and I might die alone and miserable but damn, let me eat your leftover chocolates in peace while I cry myself to sleep.

But I think enough is enough! I’ve had it with being sad for being single! Sometimes being single could be a good thing, people can benefit from it. I guess? Anyways, here’s some reasons why I think being single is pretty cool and totally not sad and doesn’t make me think about my existential crisis and crippling depression.

1. You Can Get Fat

I mean come on, there’s no one to get all sexy and slim for. Pig out! Grab that pizza and stuff your filthy face. Don’t gotta have someone tell you what you can’t eat or do. Feast in your array of sweets and treats! Besides, a little chubby never hurt nobody!

2. You Don't Have Look Good

Since you’re single you don’t have to look nice for anyone. No clean cut haircuts, no suave cologne or pretty hairdos with high fashioned makeup. Get comfy, put on your sweats and pj’s and watch some Netflix. Treat yo self!

3. You Can Shit with The Door Open

Best part about singlehood, be free my friends. No judgement and no complaints. Don’t even need the explanation. Just be free, be free my friends.I mean I don't necessarily do this due to me living in a dorm hall and all but if I didn't, I would.I mean why not? You're home alone

4. You Can Sleep with Enough Bedspace / Blankets

Lastly, no more do you have to suffer of having your partner take up all the freakin' room on the bed! Having to figure out how the hell to Tetris yourselves just to fit in. Or having to share your blanket and get possibly cold because both of you want to hog the fabric sheet of warmths. So go from this:

To this:


See? Being single isn't so bad. It has it's quirks, so enjoy yourselves. Screw those in your face lovers and be a lone wolf. I believe in you, just don't cry okay? I believe in you all.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
